What the AI looks for in Certificate Covers
- Sheet size fit
- The holder must match the certificate size, usually US Letter. Diploma sizes are often different. A loose or undersized certificate shifts or buckles inside the cover.
- Retention method
- Prefer corner tabs, ribbon or a clear sleeve over a bare pocket. The certificate should stay in place when the holder is opened.
- Orientation
- Match landscape or portrait to your certificate layout. A landscape award in a portrait holder can't be read or displayed properly.
- Cover material
- Padded or linen-textured covers resist scuffing better than plain card. Holders get handled and stored, so cheap card dents and wears quickly.
Brands that matter
- Great Papers!: Certificate holders that coordinate with their certificate papers.
- Gartner Studios: Certificate and diploma-style covers.
What to avoid
- Holders sized for diplomas when your certificates are Letter-size.
